In basketball scoreboards news, we bring a few basketball shooting tips.
The best basketball shooters typically spend countless hours over many years perfecting their skills. To shoot a basketball well you need to have studied the theory and then put it into practice. A good shooter ideally also needs to be a good vertical jumper. This is a whole science in itself, but not one that we will touch in this article.
If you are a low percentage shooter, then these basketball scoreboards tips will give you some of the theoretical knowledge you need to improve your game.
The term BEEF will help you remember the correct technique for shooting a basketball. This will help you keep you focus on the important points that you need to improve your shooting percentage.
B for balance: Spread you legs to shoulder width, and slightly bend your knees. As well as being the best shooting position, from this position you can also dribble or pass.
E for elbow: Position you elbow right under the ball. The ball should not be in the palm of you hand, but rather right on your fingertips.
E for eyes: Keep you vision focused right on the front of the rim.
F for follow through: Your non-shooting hand should be on the side of the ball. The shooting hand’s fingertips should be spread, but relaxed. The chance of scoring will be higher if you put back spin on to the ball. Do this by flicking your wrist forward as you release the ball.
When shooting from an angle, and via the backboard, aim for the boxed area and bounce the ball off it. Remember that as a rule, the backboard should only be used when you are close to the hoop. The difference between a great and a good shooter here is that a great shooter knows exactly how much arm strength and elevation is needed to score a basket. This is what comes through countless hours of practice. After you shoot, always follow the ball to the basket, so to be available for any offensive rebound if you miss.
When practicing your shooting on your own on court, try these following tips:
Mark spots on the court from where you can practice your shots. The spots should be from all angles, some of which mean that you use the backboard. Spend three times as long on the shots that you are weaker at, even if it is tempting and more satisfying to shoot from you strong spots.
Shoot from a dead ball and from a dribble position. Take standing shots and jump shots. Imitate all the different shooting scenarios that occur in a game.
